DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1, a computer-implemented payment processing system100 is shown that may be used by a user to set up and utilize a mobilewallet account. The user may be a business entity and/or an individualconsumer that has one or more source accounts with a financialinstitution. The source accounts may include business or consumeraccounts. The mobile wallet account can be created for the user totransmit funds in return for purchase of goods or services to amerchant. Additionally, funds can be transferred from the mobile walletaccount to another person.

Payment processing system 100 may include, among other systems, anonline community computer system 105, a mobile device 110, mobile walletbank computer system 120, source account bank computer system 130, afund recipient computer system 140, and a payment network 150. Theonline community computer system 105, the mobile device 110, the mobilewallet bank computer system 120, the source account bank computer system130, and the fund recipient 140 may communicate through a network 160,which may include one or more of the Internet, cellular network, Wi-Fi,Wi-Max, a proprietary banking network, and so on. The online communitycomputer system 105, the mobile wallet bank computer system 120, thesource account bank computer system 130, and the payment network 150 mayeach comprise a computer system (e.g., one or more servers each with oneor more processors) configured to execute instructions, send and receivedata stored in memory, and perform other operations to implement theoperations described herein associated with logic or processes shown inFIGS. 2A through 16.

The online community computer system 105 implements an online communityof individuals. The online community may be any internet destination(e.g., website) where users may obtain user names/login IDs or otherwisebecome registered members. The individuals may, for example, use theonline community to interact with each other and/or to interact with aservice provided by the computer system 105. Examples of onlinecommunities include MSN®, iPhone® users, Facebook®, LinkedIn®, and soon.

Members of the online community may be offered mobile wallet accounts asa service that is available through the online community. The mobilewallet accounts, for example, may be created through the onlinecommunity, may be accessible through the online community, may bebranded with the trademarks of the online community, and so on. Althoughin the illustrated embodiment the mobile wallet account is created andaccessed through an online community, it will be appreciated that themobile wallet account may be established in other ways, for example,through an online banking area of a web site of the banking institutionthat operates the mobile wallet bank computer system 120 and thatmaintains the mobile wallet account.

The mobile device 110 may be used by an individual user (e.g., abusiness owner or employee, a consumer, and so on) to create andinteract with a mobile wallet account. The mobile device 110 may, forexample be, a cellular phone, smart phone, mobile handheld wirelesse-mail device, personal digital assistant, portable gaming devices, orother suitable device. The mobile device 110 comprises a networkinterface logic 112, a display device 114, an input device 115, and amobile wallet client application 116. Network interface logic 112 mayinclude, for example, program logic that connects the mobile device 110to the network 160. As described in greater detail below, for example,the mobile device 110 may receive and display screens including accountinformation, transaction instructions, and so on. In an exampleembodiment, such screens may be used to request a username and passwordinformation. Such screens may also be used to prompt the user to provideinformation regarding the amount of the payment and which merchant orindividual (e.g., name, address, phone number or e-mail, a selection ofa recipient by the user from his memory or from by the user from themobile device 110, and so on) is to receive the payment. Such screensare presented to the user via the display device 114. The input device115 may be used to permit the user to initiate account access and tofacilitate receiving requested information from the user. As will beappreciated, in addition to or instead of the mobile device 110, usersmay also be provided with the ability to access the payment processingsystem 100 using another type of computer (e.g., a desktop or laptopcomputer executing browser software) to perform the operations describedherein as being performed by the mobile device 110.

The mobile wallet client application 116 may comprise program logicexecutable by the mobile device to implement at least some of thefunctions described herein. As will be appreciated, the level offunctionality that resides on the mobile device 110 as opposed to theonline community computer system 160 may vary depending on theimplementation. The client application 116 may simply be a web browserthat is configured to receive and display mobile web pages received fromthe online community computer system 160 (e.g. web pages prompting theuser to provide information to create an account, web pages displayingaccount balance information and past transactions, and so on). Themobile wallet client application 116 may also include a code/tokengenerator capable of generating a unique code/token for eachtransaction. As described below, the unique code/token may then betransmitted by the mobile device 110 as part of a transaction tofacilitate authentication of the transaction. As will be appreciated,the user may also use other devices (e.g., laptop or desktop computersystem, not shown) to create and access accounts through the onlinecommunity.

In another embodiment, the mobile device 110 may be connected to anothermobile device that cooperates with the mobile device 110 to provide thefunctionality described herein. For example, the other mobile device maybe a wrist watch or a small object with a small screen that a person canwear (e.g. pendant, ring, etc.). The other mobile device can beconfigured to wirelessly communicate with the mobile device 110 toreceive and send updates regarding mobile wallet activities. The othermobile device may display information that is otherwise described hereinas being displayed by display 114. For example, the other mobile devicemay display messages to the user regarding various offers, receipts andactivities. The user may speak a message to the other mobile device tostore the message in the mobile device 110. The other mobile device mayhave a processor that is configured to store information in memory. Theother mobile device may include a alphanumeric keyboard and also displaytime, temperatures, and weather information which can be updated fromthe mobile device 110.

The mobile wallet bank computer system 120 includes account processinglogic 122, an accounts database 124, network interface logic 127, and anaccount directory 129. In an example embodiment, the computer system 120is operated by a first banking entity that maintains and handlestransaction processing for the mobile wallet accounts. For example, themobile wallet accounts may be created via interaction of the mobilewallet application 116 with the mobile wallet computer system 120. Theuser may or may not have conventional bank accounts with the bankingentity that maintains the computer system 120. If the user does not havebank accounts with the entity that maintains the computer system 120,then accounts associated with another banking entity may also be used,as described below. As another example, the mobile wallet accounts maybe created and accessed through the online community, as previouslyindicated. Again, in such an embodiment, the flow of funds into and outof the mobile wallet accounts may also be processed by the first bankingentity using the mobile wallet computer system 120.

The computer system 120 is configured to store information regardingmobile wallet accounts. By way of example, information for a specificmobile wallet account, designated by reference numeral 125, is shown asbeing stored in a database 124. As will be appreciated, database 124 mayalso store information regarding many other mobile wallet accounts (notshown). As will also be appreciated, the extent to which transactiondetails are tracked and maintained in the account processing logic 124as compared to the extent to which transaction details are tracked andmaintained by the online community computer system 105 may varydepending on the implementation.

The mobile wallet account 125 holds funds that are transmitted to arecipient 140 upon receiving instructions from the user through themobile device 110. As described below, funds flow into and out of themobile wallet account 125 through the payment network 150. The mobilewallet account logic 120 is connected to the online community computersystem 105 and the payment network 150 through the network 160. Networkinterface logic 127 may include, for example, program logic thatconnects the computer system 120 to the network 160. The mobile walletaccount logic also includes an account directory 129. As discussed ingreater detail below, the account directory 129 can maintain correlatinginformation regarding a potential recipient's phone number, address ore-mail address, e.g., to facilitate transferring funds to individualswhere account information is not known.

The source account computer system 130 includes account processing logic132, an accounts database 134, and network interface logic 137. The bankaccount logic 139 may be operated by a second banking entity thatmaintains and handles transaction processing for source accounts. In anexample embodiment, as previously indicated, during creation of themobile wallet account 125, the user may be prompted to identify a sourceaccount 135, that is, a source of funds for the mobile wallet account.The source account 135 may be an existing demand deposit account held bythe user with another financial institution. When the mobile walletaccount 125 is created, the user is prompted to provide bank accountinformation (e.g., routing number and/or account number) for the sourceaccount 135 that is used as a source of funds for the mobile walletaccount 125. Thus, the financial institution that provides the mobilewallet account 125 for the user (through the online community) and thefinancial institution that typically provides banking services to theuser may be two different financial institutions. Although in theillustrated embodiment the computer systems 120 and 130 are shown asbeing separate and as communicating through the Internet, it will beappreciated that the computer systems 120 and 130 may also be integratedin a single payment processing system (e.g., if the two financialinstitutions are the same).

The fund recipient computer system 140 may be configured in generallythe same manner as the other computer systems described herein. Forexample, if the fund recipient is an individual, the computer system 140may be another mobile device, such as a cellular phone, smart phone,mobile handheld wireless e-mail device, personal digital assistant,portable gaming devices, or other suitable device. If the fund recipientis a merchant (e.g., a brick and mortar merchant, a retail website orother online merchant, etc.), the computer system 140 may comprise acomputer system (e.g., one or more servers each with one or moreprocessors) configured to execute instructions, send and receive datastored in memory, and perform other operations to implement theoperations described herein associated with the fund recipient.

The payment system 150 is used to transmit funds from the source account135 to the mobile wallet account 125 and from the mobile wallet 125 tothe recipient 140 (either directly or indirectly through the onlinecommunity). In one embodiment, the payment system 150 is the AutomatedClearing House network. As is known, the ACH Network is a nationwidebatch-oriented electronic funds transfer system which provides forinterbank clearing of electronic payments for participating depositoryfinancial institutions. An ACH entry can start with an account holder(known as the Receiver in ACH terminology) authorizing an Originator(e.g., a person or a company) to issue ACH debit or credit to anaccount. Depending on the ACH transaction, the Originator must receiveauthorization from the Receiver. In accordance with the rules andregulations of ACH, no financial institution may issue an ACHtransaction (whether it be debit or credit) towards an account withoutprior authorization from the Receiver. Once authorization is received,the Originator then creates an ACH entry to be given to an OriginatingDepository Financial Institution (ODFI), which can be any financialinstitution that does ACH origination. This ACH entry is then sent to anACH Operator (i.e., central clearing facilities through which financialinstitutions transmit or receive ACH entries, e.g., the Federal Reserveor the Electronic Payments Network) and is passed on to the ReceivingDepository Financial Institution (RDFI), where the Receiver's account isissued either a credit or debit, depending on the ACH transaction. TheRDFI may, however, reject the ACH transaction and return it to the ODFIwith the appropriate reason, such as that there were insufficient fundsin the account or that the account holder indicated that the transactionwas unauthorized. An RDFI has a prescribed amount of time in which toperform returns (e.g., two to sixty days from the receipt of the ACHtransaction). An ODFI receiving a return of an ACH entry may re-presentthe ACH entry two more times, or up to three total times, forsettlement. Again, the RDFI may reject the transaction, after which theODFI may no longer represent the transaction via ACH. The abovedescription of ACH system is one in use currently, the embodiments ofthe current invention will continue to function similarly even if somemethods and steps in the ACH system are modified.

FIG. 2 is an example process that can be implemented by the paymentprocessing system 100 of FIG. 1 to create a mobile wallet account 125.At step 211, the user is prompted to provide information to create amobile wallet account. For example, if the mobile wallet is providedthrough the online community, the user may be prompted to register withthe online community if the user has not already done so. The user mayalso be prompted to provide information to create a user profile, suchas information regarding the source account 135 (e.g., bank accountnumber and routing information, credit card or debit card number, etc.).At step 213, the user profile is stored based on input received from theuser. At step 215, the mobile wallet account 125 is funded. The fundscan be received by the mobile wallet account 125 from the source account135 through the ACH system 150. In other embodiments, the mobile walletaccount 125 can receive funds from any source of funds, such asbrokerage accounts, bank accounts, credit card accounts, retirementaccount, and so on.

Referring next to FIGS. 3A-3C, various examples in which payments aremade from the mobile wallet account 125 are shown. In FIG. 3A, a paymentis made to a merchant (e.g., a “brick and mortar” merchant) and themobile device 110 is present at the point of sale. At step 311, the codegenerator 118 of the mobile device 110 generates a unique code for atransaction at a point of sale location. As described in connection withFIG. 10 below, the unique code may be embedded in a bar code which isread by a bar code scanner operated by the merchant at step 313. Forexample, successful authentication of the unique code by the computersystem 120 may be necessary for successful completion of the transactionby the merchant. Upon successful authentication, the computer system 120may transmit a message to the merchant indicating that the transactionis “approved.” Next, in step 315, funds are transferred using the ACHsystem 150 to the merchant. In yet another embodiment, the code can betransmitted via radio frequency (Bluetooth, RFID, NFC and the like) to ascanner at the point of sale. In yet another embodiment, the code may bean image that is a bar code, two dimensional bar code (QR code), a twodimensional bar code that includes color and/or time. When the code issent to the account processing logic 122 by the recipient as a requestfor funds, the account processing logic 122 recognizes the transactionusing the code and transmits an appropriate amount of funds to therecipient. After the transaction is complete, a SMS confirmation of thetransaction may be sent in real time to the mobile device 110.

As another example, a user may use the mobile device 110 to make apayment to an online merchant. In such an embodiment, payment throughthe payment processing system 100 may be offered to the user as apayment option at checkout. If the user accesses the online merchantthrough by way of the online community computer system 105, then theuser may be authenticated by virtue of having provided username andpassword information to the online community computer system 105. Asanother option, rather than the barcode that is generated in step 311 ofFIG. 3A, the mobile device 110 may generate a unique code for atransaction which may then be keyed in by the user. Such an arrangementmay also be implement to implement payments between members of on-linecommunities (e.g., MSN®, iPhone® users, Facebook®, LinkedIn®, and soon). In an example embodiment, an application programming interface(API) may be provided for the payment processing system 105 which may beaccessed by the online merchant in programming the computer system 140to accept payments via the payment processing system 105.

In FIG. 3B, a payment is made to another individual (a “person toperson” payment). As shown in FIG. 3B, in step 321, a request for atransfer of funds from an individual to another individual is receivedfrom the mobile device 110 of the user. The request may include, forexample, the other individual's e-mail or phone number or a token. Dueto privacy concerns, a person may not want to share their account numberwith other individuals. However, oftentimes a person is willing to sharemore publicly available information, such as a name, address, E-mail ora telephone number. By using a combination of the above attributes aboutan individual, the mobile wallet application 116 can transmit funds orat least a notification to the recipient individual of the request forthe fund transfer. The information directory 129 maintains informationthat correlates such information (i.e., the other individual's e-mail orphone number or a token) with more specific information identifying amobile wallet account associated with the recipient. Thus, using theinformation directory 129, the mobile wallet account information of therecipient is identified at step 323. The funds are then transferred tothe mobile wallet account of the recipient using the ACH system 150 atstep 325. In yet another embodiment, instead of using the recipientsphone number or E-mail, the recipient can provide the sender with atoken or code for sending funds to the mobile wallet account of therecipient.

In FIG. 3C, the user attempts to make a payment to a recipient that doesnot have a pre-registered mobile wallet account. As shown in FIG. 3C, instep 331, a request for a transfer of funds from an individual toanother individual is received from the mobile device 110 of the user.In step 333, it is determined based on the information directory 129that the recipient is not a mobile wallet account holder. In step 335,the intended recipient is notified of the attempt to transfer funds, andis prompted to create a mobile wallet account. The notification can bevia e-mail, mail or phone, for example. In yet another embodiment, therecipient can request that the funds be delivered to a bank nearby andpick up the funds from the banking institution. The recipient can alsochoose to provide their bank account information such as routing numberand account number. At step 337, the funds are transferred to therecipient from the mobile wallet account 125 using the ACH system 150.

FIG. 4 shows a flow diagram of a payment channel of an exampleembodiment of the present invention. A consumer 410 can sign up with anonline community 412 and set up a mobile wallet account 414. The mobilewallet account 414 is funded from a source account 416 through the ACHsystem 424, as previously described. Information stored in connectionwith the mobile wallet account 414 includes information regardingaccount balance, pending transactions, receipt of payment, and so on. Aconsumer 410 can use the mobile wallet account 412 to purchase items orservices from online merchants 420 and 422, which may have an agreementwith the online community provider and be considered to be affiliated.When a transaction is conducted online, the immediate recipient may bethe online community provider. The online community provider may thenaggregate funds to different merchants received from different membersof the online community. The system disclosed in FIG. 4 can be used as alower-cost alternative payment channel when a consumer is shoppingonline using either the mobile wallet account 412 or on the OnlineCommunity networks. For merchants 420 and 422, receiving paymentsthrough the ACH system 424 avoids interchange fees associated withcredit card networks.

FIG. 5 shows a flow diagram of an alternative payment channel that canbe used when a consumer with a mobile device 510 with a mobile walletclient application goes to retail merchant 520 to purchase items orservices using a mobile wallet account 530. As described above inconnection with FIG. 3A, to facilitate this transaction, a code/tokengenerator can create a unique code or token for the retail merchant toscan. The code can be communicated in the form of a scanned bar code, atransmitted radio frequency signal, or in another form. The retailmerchant 520 can transmit the unique code to a bank that maintains themobile wallet account 530. Upon receiving approval for the transactionfrom the bank, funds are transferred from the mobile wallet account 530to the retail merchant 520 via the ACH system 540. Transaction costs forthe retail merchant 520 are lower because interchange fees associatedwith credit card networks are avoided.

FIG. 6 is a flow diagram showing a first example embodiment of howperson-to-person payments can be made using mobile wallet accounts. Asdescribed above, mobile wallet accounts 602, 604 and 622 may be createdthrough online communities. In the example of FIG. 6, multiple onlinecommunities are shown, and payments are made to recipients in each ofthe online communities. Hence, mobile wallet accounts 602 and 604 arecreated through a first online community 601, and mobile wallet account622 is created through a second online community 620. In the example ofFIG. 6, the mobile wallet accounts for both the first and second onlinecommunities 601 and 620 are maintained by a single bank 610. The bank610 maintains an information directory 614 that can correlate e-mail,phone number and/or other individual identifying information with amobile wallet account. This allows the sender to identify a user withname, E-mail, address or phone number and the directory can route thefunds to the correct mobile account number. In another embodiment,multiple directories may be maintained and each directory is maintainedby a third party, for example, the respective online community provider.

To make a payment to a recipient in the first online community 601, theuser selects a contact (for example, a first recipient 606). The firstonline community 601 receives the above information from the sender andit transmits the recipient identifying information and the amount offunds to be transferred to the bank 610. The bank 610 queries thedirectory 614 to determine whether the recipient has a mobile walletaccount. If the recipient has a mobile wallet account, then the firstrecipient 606 is notified that funds are being transferred to theirmobile wallet account 604. The banking institution 610 can, upon theapproval of the first recipient, transfer the funds to holding accountof the mobile wallet account 604.

To make a payment to a recipient in the second online community 620, theuser selects a contact (for example, a second recipient 622). In thisexample, the same bank 610 maintains mobile wallet accounts for both thefirst online community 601 and the second online community 620. Thedirectory 614 therefore has all the information that is needed tocomplete the transfer and, therefore, the transmission of funds occursas it did with the first recipient 606. Therefore, the paymentprocessing system 100 may permit two online communities to be joined byallowing transfer of funds to a sender and recipient of differentcommunities. In yet another embodiment, the second recipient 622 has amobile wallet account 621 that is not maintained by the same bank 610but instead has a mobile wallet account that is maintained by anotherbank. In this embodiment, the two banks may provide access to theirrespective directories for purposes of identifying the sender and therecipient and completing the transaction.

FIG. 7 is a flow diagram indicating multiple channels of payments thatmay be made using the mobile wallet account. In FIG. 7, the consumer 701is a member of an online community 707 and has a mobile wallet account709 that uses the ACH system 705. The mobile wallet account 709 may beused to make payments in multiple channels. Thus, as shown in FIG. 7,the consumer 701 can send funds to person-to-person type recipients 712and 713. As also shown in FIG. 7, the consumer 701 can pay for servicesthat are offered online (e.g., music downloads, movie downloads,subscriptions, etc.) at an online store 715 using the mobile walletaccount 711. Additionally, the consumer 701 can pay a retail (bricks andmortar) store 717 for products and services using the mobile walletaccount 709. Lastly, a consumer can visit to an online store 719 and payby using the mobile wallet account 709. Thus, the use of the mobilewallet can greatly reduce the need for carrying a traditional walletwith credit cards.

FIGS. 8-16 show screen displays of a sample mobile wallet clientapplication. In particular, screen 800 as shown in FIG. 8 can bedisplayed when a user selects the mobile wallet application on theirmobile device 110. Screen display 800 identifies to the user that theyare signing on to their mobile wallet account in field 801. For signingin, the user may be asked to provide a login ID (e.g., unique accountname/number) in field 802 and password in field 805. The accountname/number and password may have been configured upon set up of themobile wallet and/or updated at a later date. As another example, theaccount name/number and password may be the same as the user's onlinebanking credentials. As another example, assuming that the user issigning on from the mobile device 110, the user may only be asked toprovide a pin number (e.g., a 4-digit PIN), given that physicalpossession of the mobile device 110 may itself provide an additionallayer of security. The PIN may be linked to or may be separate from thePIN that is used for a debit card held by the user. After entering therequested information, the user can press the provided sign in button807.

In other embodiments, other authentication techniques may be used. Forexample, biometric authentication techniques may be used. For example, acamera on a mobile device 110 may capture an image/video of the user,and a facial recognition algorithm may be used to authenticate the user.As another example, a voice/speech recognition technique may be used.For example, the user may speak into a microphone of the mobile device110, and the user may be authenticated based on the sound of the user'svoice and/or based on the content of the user's speech (e.g., a spokenpassword). As another example, the mobile device 110 may be providedwith a fingerprint scanner, and a finger print authentication techniquemay be used.

Next, after the user has been authenticated, information on the screen910 shown on FIG. 9 can be displayed on the mobile device 110. In FIG.9, the user is given a menu with various menu items including a starttransactions button 920, a person to person button 930, an accountdetails button 940, and a load funds button 950. The start transactionbutton 920 allows the user begin a purchase transaction (online orretail) using the mobile wallet account 125. The person to person button930 allows a user to initiate a transfer from funds from the user to arecipient as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6. Theaccount detail button 940 provides the user with details regarding thebalance and prior transactions. The load funds button 950 allows theuser to load funds onto the mobile wallet account 125 using an ACHsystem 150 as described above.

Examplesof optically scanned codes include bar codes, two dimensional codes(e.g. QR code and other similar codes), three dimensional codes (e.g. QRcode with color and others characteristics), and four dimensional codes(e.g. QR code with color and timestamp information). Examples ofnon-optical codes include, near field communication (NFC), RFID, HID orother RF signal to transmit the code. Code scanner 1704 may include alight emitting device that scans a code using infrared, laser, or othertypes of communication technology. After scanning the QR code the QRcode scanner 1704 determines the information that was incorporated intothe QR code by the mobile device 110 that generated the code.

The location indicator logic 1706 provides an indication of thegeographic location of the code scanner 1704. In one embodiment, thelocation indicator logic 1706 may be programmed with the known addressof the merchant location as the location of the QR code scanner.

The fund requesting logic 1708 communicates a fund request via thenetwork interface logic 1702 to the bank computer system 120. The fundrequesting logic 1708 sends the location of the code scanner 1704 to thebank computer system 120. In one embodiment, the fund requesting logic1708 also sends the amount of transaction to the financial transaction.

The merchant computer system 140 may further connect to or integratewith other hardware. For example, in one embodiment, the merchantcomputer system 140 may connect to a card reader for reading creditcards, debit cards, stored value cards, and so on. As another example,the merchant computer system 140 may be configured to prompt the user toprovide a random security code. The random security code may begenerated by the mobile device 110, by a separate security dongle, or inanother manner. The security code may be provided to the merchantcomputer system 140 directly by the mobile device, may be keyed into themerchant computer system (e.g., by a store clerk), or may be received inanother manner.

In FIG. 17, the mobile wallet application 116 is used in connection withmerchant computer system 140 located at a bricks and mortar storelocation. As previously indicated, however, the mobile walletapplication 116 may also be used in connection with online merchanttransactions. For example, in another embodiment, merchants may beprovided with the ability to have a mobile storefront and profile withinthe mobile wallet application 116. For example, merchants may beprovided with the ability to display marketing material, provideinformation, and promote products or discounts. Merchants may also beprovided with the ability to sell items directly through their mobilestorefront for the account holder to purchase from within the mobileapplication 116.

As also previously indicated, the mobile wallet application 116 may alsobe used in connection with non-merchant transactions. For example, inanother embodiment, the mobile wallet application 116 may be configuredto send payments to organizations that are able to accept donationsunder 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3) (e.g., religious organizations, educationalorganizations, charitable organizations, scientific organizations,literary organizations, public safety testing organizations,organizations that foster national or international amateur sportscompetition, organizations that promote prevention of cruelty tochildren or animals, and so on).

The bank computer system 120 includes network interface logic 1722,transaction verification logic 1724, code determination logic 1726, timeverification logic 1728, location verification logic 1730, accountdatabase 1734, and profile database 1736. The code generator 1722 mayreceive a request from an account holder to initiate a transaction. Atransaction may be initiated by generating a QR code that can be scannedby a merchant or individual. The account holder may access the codegenerator 1722 via a mobile wallet application that is being executed onthe mobile device 110. In various embodiments, the QR code may begenerated without the account holder providing the merchant's name oramount of transaction. The code generator 1722 can be configured togenerate a QR code that incorporates at least one of a date, time,unique transaction identifier, and geographic location of the mobiledevice. In other embodiments, the code generators 118 and 1722 can beconfigured to generate optically scanned or non-optically scanned codes.Examples of optically scanned codes include bar codes, two dimensionalcodes (e.g. QR code and other similar codes), three dimensional codes(e.g. QR code with color and others characteristics), and fourdimensional codes (e.g. QR code with color and timestamp information).Examples of non-optically scanned codes may include, near fieldcommunication (NFC), RFID, HID or other RF signal to transmit the code.

In another embodiment, the code generator 1722 may receive a request fora code to provide to a merchant, the code being generated to bedisplayed on a merchant point of sale machine or an ecommerce website.The merchant may display the code for the account holder to scan using amobile device. Generating the code including embedding in the code atransaction identification number, a geographic location of themerchant, and a timestamp. The financial institution may send the codeto the merchant for the mobile device to scan. The mobile device 110 mayscan the code from a merchant display device. The mobile device 110 mayamend the code to add a further authentication information to the codeand send the code to the financial institution. The financialinstitution may receive the amended code from the mobile device totransfer funds from an account held by the account holder to themerchant. In one embodiment, the requested funds are transferred to themerchant upon verifying the geographic location of the mobile device tobe within a predetermined distance of the location of the merchant. Inanother embodiment, the amended code is amended to includeauthentication information (e.g. geographic location, account number,pass code, pin code) from the mobile device for the financialinstitution.

The transaction verification logic 1724 may receive a transaction amountfrom the merchant computer system 140. The transaction verificationlogic 1724 may generate a message to send to the mobile device 110 forverifying the transaction amount. Upon receiving the verificationmessage, the account holder via mobile device 110 may approve thetransaction amount to the bank computer system 120.

The time verification logic 1728 includes a comparator configured tocompare the time provided by the merchant computer system 140 with thetime provided via the QR code generated by the mobile device 110. If thetime provided by the QR code and the merchant computer system 140 doesnot match within a predetermined time limit (e.g., five minutes), thebank computer system 120 will deny the transaction.

The location verification logic 1730 includes a comparator configured tocompare two geographic locations. In one embodiment, the GPS locationthat is encoded with the QR code may be compared to the locationprovided by the location indicator logic 1706 at the merchant computersystem 140. As described in greater detail below, if locations providedby the mobile device 110 and the merchant computer system 140 are withina predetermined distance of each other, then the payment from the mobilewallet may be approved.

The offer engine 1731 may be configured to receive past financialtransaction information regarding transactions conducted by the accountholder. For example, the account holder may opt in to receive offersthat are selected as being likely to be considered relevant or helpfulby the account holder. As described in greater detail below, thetransaction information may be analyzed to obtain information regardingstores that the account holder frequently visits, the amount of moneythe account holder typically spends at various types of stores, themonthly spending habits of the account holder, the timing of incomepayments received by the account holder, seasonal spending patterns ofthe account holder, and so on. In another embodiment, the offer engine1731 may download new updated offers based on the account holder'sgeographic location from the merchant computer system 140.

In another embodiment, the offer engine 1731 is configured to presentoffers, in the form of an alert, to an account holder based on theaccount holder's geographic location. For example, when an accountholder is within a geographic perimeter around a predetermined location(e.g. merchant, service provider, entertainment venue, etc.) the offerengine 1731 may generate a message that is displayable on the display114 as an alert. The message may display the approximate geographicdistance to the predetermined location where the offer may be redeemedand the details regarding the offer. The details regarding the offer mayinclude the item or service that is being offered at a discounted priceand/or the amount of money the redemption of the offer may save theaccount holder. As part of displaying the alert, an overlay display mayalso be generated, possibly accompanied by a vibration and/or soundgenerated while the account holder's device is in sleep or active usemode.

The account database 1734 may store details regarding financialinstitution accounts. In particular, the account database 1734 may storeeach financial transaction that occurred. Each financial transaction mayinclude the amount of the transaction and the merchant. In oneembodiment, the receipt tracker 1716 may request information fromaccount database 1734.

The profile database 1736 may store other information regarding theaccount holder. For example, the profile database 1736 may storeinformation useful for generating offers and advertising that areselected specifically for the account holder, as described in greaterdetail below.

FIG. 18 is a process implemented by the payment processing system ofFIG. 17. The process from FIG. 18 includes blocks 1801, 1803, 1805,1807, 1807 and 1811. Block 1801 includes receiving a user's request toperform a financial transaction. The transaction may include a sale of agood or services. The user's request to perform a financial transactionmay initially be received by the mobile device 110. In one embodiment,the mobile device 110 receives the request to perform a transactionafter the user selects a mobile wallet application on the mobile device110. The request may then be transmitted from the mobile device 110 andreceived at the mobile wallet bank computer system 120. The user'srequest to perform a financial transaction may also be received by themerchant computer system 140 (e.g., by virtue of a store clerk beginningto ring up a purchase transaction).

At block 1803, the geographic location of the mobile device 110 isdetermined. As previously indicated, the location determination logic1712 in the mobile device 110 may use a satellite (GPS) sensor orcellular towers to determine the location coordinates of the mobiledevice 110. The location of the mobile device 110 may be transmitted tothe bank computer system 120 as part of the transaction request.

Upon receiving the request, the bank computer system 120 generates atransaction code that may be used to identify the transaction. The codemay comprise a unique identifier for the transaction. The code may alsoembed the date and time the transaction request was received and thelocation of the mobile device 110. The transaction code is transmittedto the mobile device 110. The transaction code may be displayed on themobile device 110 and scanned by the code scanner 1704. For example, thetransaction code may be implemented as a QR code which is readable bythe code scanner 1704. The information that is embedded in thetransaction code may be extracted from the code at the merchant computersystem 140, such as the date, time, the location of the user, and theunique transaction identifier. In another embodiment, the code isgenerated by the merchant computer system 140 and scanned by the mobiledevice 110 (e.g., using a camera built into the mobile device).

Next, at block 1805 the location of the merchant may be determined. Forexample, the address or other location information may be retrieved fromthe location indicator logic 1706. At block 1807, the location of mobiledevice 110 and the location of the merchant are compared to ensure amatch. Ensuring that the mobile device 110 is at the same location asthe merchant computer system 140 helps prevent fraudulent transactions.In one embodiment, a match is ensured by determining the distancebetween the two locations and ensuring that the distance is within apredetermined distance. For example, the predetermined distance may beup to 50, 100, 200 feet or another distance. In one embodiment, thelocation of the merchant computer system 140 is transmitted to the bankcomputer system 120 and the comparison is performed at the bank computersystem 120. In such an embodiment, the bank computer system 120determines the location of the mobile device 110 and the location of themerchant computer system 140 using location information provided byeach, and performs the comparison on the basis of such locationinformation. In another embodiment, the comparison is performed at themerchant computer system 140. The comparison may also be performed atboth locations. In another embodiment, the location of the mobile device110 and the location of the merchant are compared before a transactioncode is generated and, if the mobile device is not at the same locationas the merchant computer system, then the transaction code is notgenerated. A similar comparison may also be performed in connection withthe date and time information (e.g., to ensure that the transactionrequest from the mobile device 110 is not expired or too old to bevalid).

In another embodiment, in addition to ascertaining whether the mobiledevice 110 is at the same location as the merchant computer system 140,it is also ascertained whether the mobile device is inside/outside apredetermined geographic region. For example, it may be ascertainedwhether the mobile device is outside the United States. For example, ifit is known that merchant X has no store locations outside the UnitedStates, and if the mobile device 110 is outside the United States, thenthe transaction may be denied. This may provide a second, independenttest of the user's location to ensure that the transaction does notappear fraudulent. As another example, it may be ascertained whether themobile device is within one or more specified foreign countries. Thelocation of the mobile device 110 may be determined and checked when thetransaction is initiated and at multiple times throughout thetransaction to guard against spoofing attacks.

At block 1809, the merchant computer system 140 sends transactioninformation to the bank computer system 120. For example, the amount ofthe purchase, the unique identifier, the date and time, and the locationinformation may be sent to the extent such information has not alreadybeen transmitted. The bank computer system 120 may use this informationto transfer funds from the mobile wallet account to an account of themerchant. For example, in one embodiment, the bank computer system 120uses the unique identifier to retrieve information previously storedabout the transaction (e.g., account information for the mobile walletaccount) when the transaction was first initiated. On this basis,information may be passed back to the merchant computer system 140 topermit the transaction to be completed. For example, a credit cardnumber or ATM card number associated with the mobile wallet account maybe passed back to the merchant computer system 140 (or to other backendcomputing systems of the merchant), thereby allowing the merchant toprocess the transaction in the same way other credit card and ATM cardtransactions are processed. As another example, the merchant computersystem 140 may also include logic to connect to a third-party paymentservice, e.g., to a service that performs credit card processing formerchants that do not otherwise accept credit cards. It may be notedthat the account holder may not need to enter the merchant name or theamount of the transaction into the mobile wallet application 116, asthis information may be provided by the merchant.

At block 1811, an indication that the transaction has been completed istransmitted. As described above, the transaction is completed based onthe unique identifier and based on the match of the first and secondlocation. For example, when the merchant computer system 140 completesbackend processing of the transaction, an indication that thetransaction has been completed may be transmitted to the mobile device110 and/or the bank computer system 120. In turn, the mobile device 110may transmit an indication that the transaction has been completed,e.g., by generating a confirmation screen that is displayed to the user.The bank computer system 140 may also transmit the indication to otherbackend processes.

In another embodiment, rather than transmitting the actual sixteen digitnumber of a valid credit or debit card back to the merchant computersystem 140, a tokenized sixteen digit number is transmitted. Thissixteen digit number may have a unique BIN (e.g., the first four digitsof the original card number) and the same last four digits as theoriginal card number. The middle six digits may be variable and producedfor each transaction. When the bank that issued the credit card receivesthe tokenized sixteen digit number (after it passed through the normalfour party system of merchant to acquiring bank to issuing bank toconsumer), the tokenized sixteen digit number may be decoded andreplaced by the original number in order to fund the purchase. Thetokenized sixteen digit number may be transmitted in accordance with the18092 NFC ISO standard.

FIG. 19a is a process implemented by the payment processing system ofFIG. 17 in connection with processing payment from a stored value card.The process from FIG. 19a includes blocks 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, and1905. Block 1901 recites generating a menu that is configured to acceptuser input. Block 1902 recites receiving user input which indicates achoice of a value card as a payment option. In one embodiment, theaccount holder may choose to pay a merchant using a card with storedvalue for a merchant. The account holder may access the value cardoption from a website or application that is provided by a financialinstitution that is affiliated or unaffiliated with the merchant thatprovided the value card. Transactions involving stored value cards maybe processed in a manner similar to transactions involving credit cardsor debit cards, as discussed above. Hence, at block 1903, the mobiledevice 110 may generate a display for a merchant based on the userselected value card. In one embodiment, the generated display may be abarcode, QR code, QR code (with color and/or time) or RF signal that maybe read by a merchant scanner. The merchant may receive the barcode orQR code and extract information from the code to process thetransaction. Block 1904 recites transferring funds from the balance ofthe selected value card to the merchant. Block 1905 recites reducing thebalance of the selected value card. For example, if the stored valuecard is not merchant-issued, then it may be processed in a mannersimilar to credit cards as described above. If the stored value card isa merchant-issued card, backend systems may be accessed to reduce thebalance of the card and complete the transaction.

FIG. 19b is a process implemented by the value card aggregator 1715 ofFIG. 17 in connection with loading information from a stored value cardinto the mobile device 110. The process from FIG. 19b includes blocks1907, 1909, 1911, and 1913. At block 1907, the account holder with avalue card can reload the existing value card to increase the balance onthe card. At block 1909, the account holder can provide the card valueprovider's name and the number for a stored value card to store on themobile wallet application. Alternatively, at block 1911, the accountholder may user a camera or imaging device to capture the barcode thatis physically on the value card. Next, at block 1913, the data fromblock 1907, 1909 and 1911 can be stored on the mobile device 110.

FIG. 20 is a process implemented by the payment processing system ofFIG. 17 in connection with providing an alert about stored value card.The process from FIG. 19c includes block 2001, 2003, and 2005. At block2001, value card information stored on the mobile device 110 isaccessed. At block 2003, the mobile device 110 determines the GPSlocation of the mobile device 110. At block 2005, the mobile device 110determines the merchants that are in the vicinity of the GPS location ofthe mobile device 110. If the mobile device 110 determines that themerchants that are in the vicinity match the value cards that are storedon the mobile device 110, then the mobile wallet application 116 on themobile device 110 may generate an alert for the account holder. Thegenerated alert may be displayed by the mobile device 110 and may informthe account holder that a value card is available to be used at a nearbymerchant. In another embodiment, the alert may inform the account holderthe balance on the value card that is available.

FIG. 21 is a process implemented by the payment processing system ofFIG. 17. The process of FIG. 21 may be used to determine and present afinancial incentive (e.g., offers, coupons, rebates, etc.) to an accountholder. For example, the account holder may opt in to receive offersthat are selected as being likely to be considered relevant or helpfulby the account holder. The process of FIG. 21 includes blocks 2101,2102, 2103, 2105, 2107, 2109, 2111, and 2113. At block 2101 the bankcomputer system 120 may aggregate transaction information stored in theaccount data base 1734 regarding the account holder. At step 2103, theaggregated transaction information is used to build a profile for theaccount holder. For example, the transaction information may be analyzedto obtain information regarding stores that the account holderfrequently visits, the amount of money the account holder typicallyspends at various types of stores, the monthly spending habits of theaccount holder, the timing of income payments received by the accountholder, seasonal spending patterns of the account holder, and so on. Tothe extent receipts for transactions conducted using the mobile device110 are received by the mobile device 110, such receipts may also beanalyzed to assess spending habits of the account holder. Additionally,in order to make the information that is provided more relevant to theaccount holder, the account holder may also opt in to provideinformation regarding the account holders interests, hobbies, and so on.This information may also be stored as attributes in the user profile.

At block 2105, the bank computer system 120 receives offers and couponto offer to a plurality of account holders. For example, advertisers mayprovide such offers to the bank computer system 120 to provide to theaccount holder. As another example, offers from a third partyadvertisement network may be utilized. At block 2107, a current positionof the mobile device 110 is determined. At block 2109, based on the userprofile, the available offers, and the current position of the accountholder, the profiles are matched with the offers received. Uponselecting an offer or coupon that matches the profile of the accountholder, the offer or coupon is sent to the mobile device 110. The mobiledevice 110 receives the offer or coupon and stores it in the offerengine 1731 at block 2111. The offer engine 1731 can alert the accountholder regarding the offer while the mobile device 110 of the accountholder is at a geographic location to use the offer or coupon. The offerengine 1731 may present the offer to the account holder at block 2113via a display of the mobile device 110.

In another embodiment, the offer engine 1731 may present the offer tothe account holder at block 2113 based on the fact the other users' withsimilar characteristics recommended a merchant, purchased items at amerchant, and so on. The other users with similar characteristics may bedetermined based on the account holder's connections in an online socialnetwork. An offer generated based on other users past transactions mayindicate that the offer is generated based on the past transactions ofthe account holder's connections in the social network. At step 2109,matching a user with offers may also occur by the user indicating anapproval of a particular offer, type of offer or a set of offers. Theuser's approval for one offer may be used to determine which futureoffers are presented to the user. For example, if the user approves of a50% off flowers offer, then any future offers for 50% off otherproducts, which may or may not be related to the approved offer, such aschocolates, may be selected from among a plurality of offers to presentto the user. After an offer has been presented to the user, the user maybe given a choice to use the offer or send the offer to a friend using aform of communication. The form of communication from the user to thefriend may be an online social network (e.g. Google+™, Facebook™,Myspace™, LinkedIn™, or other online social networks). In anotherembodiment, the offer may be communicated by transmitting the offerthrough the mobile wallet application of the user to the mobile walletapplication of the friend. In one embodiment, the account holder may beable to add an offer to the mobile wallet application by using an onlinesocial network. The online social network may have a wallet applicationarea where the user may receive offers and send offers to other friends.

Referring to FIG. 22, FIG. 22 is a process implemented by the paymentprocessing system of FIG. 17 in connection with tracking receipts. Theprocess of FIG. 22 may be performed by the mobile device 110 or the bankcomputer system 120 to track receipts. The process of FIG. 22 includesblocks 2201, 2203, 2207, 2209, 2211, 2213, and 2215. At block 2203, amerchant may send a receipt to a mobile wallet account of a mobiledevice 110. For example, such a receipt may be sent whenever atransaction is completed using the mobile device 110. At block 2203, themobile device 110 receives a receipt from an account holder's E-mailaddress. In one embodiment, an account holder may register the E-mailaddress with the mobile wallet account. In another embodiment, themobile wallet account may be assigned an e-mail address to receivereceipts. In yet another embodiment, the receipts may be E-mailed in anelectronic format. At block 2207, the receipts are scanned forinformation and stored (e.g., at the bank computer system 120). Forexample, at block 2209, the mobile wallet application 116 may determinewhich products were purchased and the price of the purchased products.Such information may be used to build a user profile, as previouslydiscussed.

At step 2211, past receipts that are stored in the mobile wallet accountmay be retrieved and displayed to a user of a mobile device 110. Inanother embodiment, an account holder may search the receipts fortransactions relating to specific products or merchants. The receiptsmay also be geo-tagged when the receipts are stored, and such searchesmay be performed based on the geo-tag information. Tools may be providedto facilitate organizing the receipts for inclusion in expense reports.For example, tools may be provided that permit the account holder to addcomments to receipts and to transmit the receipts to third parties. Atblock 2213, the mobile wallet scans the received receipt and determinesthe amount of funds saved from a merchant loyalty program. Afterscanning the receipt, the mobile wallet application 116 aggregates thefunds saved on the loyalty program.

Referring to FIG. 23, FIG. 23 illustrates an augmented reality process2300 that may be implemented using the mobile device 110. At step 2301,the mobile device 110 generates an image or set of images from a cameraor image scanning device located in the mobile device 110. At step 2303,the mobile wallet application 116 on the mobile device 110 may generatean overlay display on the image or set of images to provide additionalinformation to the account holder. The additional information may be animage, sound, set of images with sounds, video, and graphics or GPSdata. Different types of information may be provided. For example, atblock 2305, if the image received by the mobile device 110 is a form,then the mobile device 110 may display fields that may be filled out bythe account holder providing input. As another example, at block 2307,if the image received by the mobile device 110 is an image of a street,then merchants with offers available via the mobile device 110 may bedisplayed as an overlay on the image on the mobile device 110. When themerchants with offers are displayed, the user may also be provided aprofile of the merchant and an online storefront. The profile of themerchant may include information regarding the merchant. The onlinestorefront displays items that a user can select and purchase from themerchant for in-person delivery at a physical store or delivery at auser specified location (e.g. addresses such as home, business or friendor family home or business). The geographic location and the orientationof the mobile device 110 may be determined. As the orientation of themobile device 110 changes, the overlay may move or change in synchronismwith the changing image according to the orientation of the mobiledevice 110. As another example, at block 2309, if the mobile device 110is located in a store, then the overlay displayed can show the directionof a product or products that are on sale or have offers available viathe mobile device 110. The overlay showing the direction of the productor products may be dynamically updated as the account holder walkstoward the product, thereby helping the account holder find the productwithin the store.

FIGS. 24-27 show additional screen displays of a sample mobile walletclient application. Referring first to FIG. 24, FIG. 24 is a screendisplay that is generated by the mobile wallet application 116. Thedisplay in FIG. 24 is generated when an account holder initiates theregistration of the mobile wallet account. As shown in FIG. 24, theaccount holder is provided the choice of selecting the default paymentaccount for the mobile wallet account. For example, the choices shown inFIG. 24 includes, debit card 2407 that is the debit card for accountnumber ending 2468. Another option may be debit card 2409 that is thedebit card for account number ending 2568. If the account holder usesconventional banking services of the bank that offers the mobile wallet,then the information shown in FIG. 24 may be prepopulated using theaccount holder's existing account information.

In the example shown in FIG. 24, the account holder has configured themobile wallet for use with several demand deposit accounts. Aspreviously indicated, the mobile wallet may also be configured for usewith other forms of payment, such as stored value cards. As anotherexample, the mobile wallet may be configured for use with a paymentmechanism that allows for direct transfers of funds from a demanddeposit account of the account holder to an account of the merchant(e.g., akin to an online bill pay mechanism, but accessible via themobile wallet application 116 at a point of sale). Such an arrangementmay permit funds to be transferred to the merchant while avoiding theneed to provide the merchant with account information (e.g., a creditcard or debit card number) of the account holder.

In the example shown in FIG. 24, the account holder selects a defaultaccount for use with the mobile wallet. As will be appreciated, thedefault account need not be used for all mobile wallet transactions. Asanother example, different types of transactions (e.g., by merchant, bydollar amount, etc.) may have different default accounts used forpayment. That is, the mobile wallet application 116 may provide theaccount holder with the ability to set preferences for when certainpayment types are used in certain situations. For example, the defaultaccount used for payment may be a store-issued credit card when theaccount holder is making a purchase at the store that issued the creditcard. As another example, the default account may be a debit card whenthe purchase amount is below a threshold (e.g., below $50) and a creditcard when the purchase amount is equal to or greater than threshold(e.g., $50 or more). The account holder may be provided with the abilityto specify such thresholds and what accounts are used as a function ofwhether the thresholds are met.

As another example, the defaults may be selected automatically by themobile wallet application 116. For example, the mobile walletapplication 116 may be configured to analyze past transaction history toselect a default payment type for presentation to the account holder atthe time of a purchase. For example, an account holder that frequentlytravels for business may typically use an employer-provided credit cardfor purchases that are made when traveling. For example, if the accountholder lives in San Francisco, then the employer-provided credit cardmay be the most-frequently used credit card whenever the account holdermakes purchases that are more at a merchant location that is 100 milesor more away from San Francisco. At the time of a transaction, if thetransaction is occurring at a merchant location that is 100 miles ormore away from San Francisco, then the account holder may be providedwith the employer-provided credit card as a default account, on theassumption that the account holder is traveling on business when thepurchase is being made and the purchase is work-related. As anotherexample, the account holder may have a tendency to use specific creditcards at specific stores. Hence, at the time of a transaction, the pasttransaction history may be analyzed to determine what credit card theaccount holder typically uses at the store where the transaction isoccurring.

The account holder is provided an option to select between each of thedebit cards or credit cards that are linked to the bank account portionof the mobile wallet application 116. In another embodiment, the mobilewallet application 116 may allow an account holder to enter a debit orcredit card number to use as the default account. After receiving theaccount holder's choice of debit card the account holder may select thecontinue button 2413. After selecting the debit card account the accountholder may be prompted to provide a pin for the default account. In oneembodiment, the pin may be a 4 digit number that is used for the mobilewallet account. In one embodiment, the pin for the mobile wallet accountdoes not change the pin related to the underlying bank account.

Referring to FIG. 25, FIG. 25 shows a screen display that allows a userto verify the wallet settings in menu 2501. Menu item 2505 a displaysthe default wallet account that the user selected. Also displayed is anoption 2505 b that, if selected, may allow the account holder to choosea different debit card or credit card. Also shown in FIG. 25 is a changepin option 2507 a, which allows the account holder to select the optionto enter a new PIN number. To complete the mobile wallet accountregistration, the account holder may select the register button 2509.

Referring to FIG. 26, FIG. 26 shows a screen that informs an accountholder that their wallet account has been activated and the accountholder may link their wallet account to a loyalty card of a merchant. Inthe example shown on FIG. 26, the account holder is offered the optionto provide loyalty card information to the mobile wallet account byselecting button 2620. Alternatively or additionally, the account holdermay continue to a mobile wallet dashboard by selecting button 2630.

Referring to FIG. 27, FIG. 27 illustrates a screen display of a QR codethat may be generated for a merchant to scan. The QR code may bedisplayed by the mobile device 110 based on information provided by thebank computer system 120. When the QR code is generated and displayed onthe mobile device 110, the account that will be used to pay the merchantis identified under the QR code at field 2742. If the account holderwishes to use a different account, the account holder is offered theoption of changing the account using the change account option button2740. Once the merchant or individual has scanned the QR code, theaccount holder may select the close button 2750 to close the mobilewallet application 116.

After scanning the QR code, the merchant may transmit the QR code to thebank computer system 120, as previously described. The bank computersystem 120 may then return account information (e.g., a credit cardnumber, debit card number, etc.) to backend servers associated with themerchant computer system 140 to permit the transaction to be processedin the same manner as a conventional credit card or debit cardtransaction. As previously mentioned, stored value cards may also beused.
